Yes, that true. I only want to provide packages  
for the x86 platform at the moment ;-)

I'm creating a gentoo linux based
build environment now which providing a 
static openssl lib and a static glibc with 
nss-lib enabled and disabled pthread, mlib.

I want to link tor/tsocks static against this libs.
Perhaps this helps zu build a totally static tor binary
running fine on _every linux distro running on a 
processor with x86 architecture_ ;-)

Thanks for your response,
Aron
